Sharing the story of the Salam Centre helps keep the focus on the critical need for humanitarian aid in Sudan.
Operated by the international NGO EMERGENCY , the "Salam" Centre (meaning "peace" in Arabic) was opened in 2007. It is not just a hospital; it is a specialized center offering complex cardiac surgeries, including valve replacements, congenital heart defect repairs, and pediatric cardiac surgeries—all at no cost to the patients.
Recognizing the acute needs of children, a pediatric outpatient clinic was opened in March 2024 within the Salam complex to serve local communities and displaced people.
The hospital has continued performing cardiac surgeries, adapting its operations to ensure safety.
In the heart of Sudan, where conflict and instability have challenged the very foundations of the healthcare system, one institution stands as a testament to resilience, peace, and high-quality medical care. The Salam Centre for Cardiac Surgery , located on the outskirts of Khartoum, has continued its mission to provide free, top-tier cardiac treatment to patients from Sudan and across Africa, even amidst the ongoing conflict that began in April 2023. A Sanctuary Named "Peace"
